32-33, Chart

by Jeff Sullivan on Jun 18, 2009 1:39 AM PDT in Seattle Mariners Game Recaps

No time to write anything tonight. This team is unbeatable. Here.

In the eighth inning, Brian Giles hit a foul line drive that nailed a guy in the section next to us in the forehead and brought out the EMTs. Brian Giles: turning San Diego against him, one fan at a time.

It's so nice seeing Griffey as a hero again.

Instead of the biggest suckfest three days in a row. I’ve almost forgotten about that series against Colorado already. That was last year right?

per Stone

for what its worth.

“Wakamatsu said that he thought Ken Griffey Jr. took some of the best swings he’s taken all year. He said Griffey made an adjusment that helps him use the whole ballpark, witnessed by his opposite-field double. He believes that bodes well for Griffey’s future performance.”

I know these are rarely true,

but when it is a player you like it is always exciting to see this a little bit.

Any idea how far Lopez' home run went?

Could be interesting to see him hitting a bomb just after you said he hasn’t shown that kind of power. Griffey did that to you a few weeks ago when you said he was finished.

I heard his homer was upper-deck…and San Diego isn’t exactly a small stadium.

And we could have giffed you flinging small children from the second deck in order to find Loafie's tater.

Too bad it wasn't the day before because Brett Boone could have come down to console and cry with you.

Front row of the upper deck in left

Good shot, but not a bomb. Hundley’s homer was also deceptively short (but unthinkably impressive).

Jeff Sullivan - June 18, 2009 reply

Headley?

seattlebruin - June 18, 2009 reply

Also, on back-to-back nights, we watched starting pitchers have quality starts

in which they did not give up a base hit in the field of play

seattlebruin - June 18, 2009 reply

Headley

Hundley was the one who retarded everything up for the Padres. Nice job, brain.

Jeff Sullivan - June 18, 2009 reply

Perhaps your brain is too concerned with Heatley

Kirsten Schlewitz - June 18, 2009 reply

Sigh.

the Pirate Giles was much more fun.

Nick Hundley took out Scott Miller’s computer in the press box. The Padres as a whole are working on alienating the press corps.

msb - June 18, 2009 reply

I watched that ball hit the back of his monitor!

Jeff Sullivan - June 18, 2009 reply

My abilities to call Jose Lopez home runs at agmes I go to are getting cooler by the day

seattlebruin - June 18, 2009 reply

It would be more impressive if you didn't call Loafie homeruns at every possible moment.

abender20 - June 18, 2009 reply

I called an upper-deck shot before the game started

seattlebruin - June 18, 2009 reply

You're sick

abender20 - June 18, 2009 reply

But do you do this every game?

Kirsten Schlewitz - June 18, 2009 reply

Surprisingly, I don't call Loafie homers all that often

seattlebruin - June 18, 2009 reply

Does anyone else find it fun

That Carp added more at the plate with his one walk than everyone but four other guys? Clearly, this is a sign.

Jeff Nusser - June 18, 2009 reply

Sorry, three other guys

They didn’t teach us to count in English teacher school.

Jeff Nusser - June 18, 2009 reply

I was quite impressed by the composure Carp showed at the plate.

I also liked how the announcers made a comment about how many players have drawn a walk in their first ML AB, and went on to say that Yuni took almost 100 PAs before he drew his first walk.
